At my grade school we always ended the year with an all school track meet. It was really my first introduction to events like the long jump, shot put, pole vaulting... wait... well MANY track & field activities. I loved it! Our kids get to enjoy a field day at the end of the year which is pretty fun as well.
They rotate between stations which are each led by a couple of 7th graders. They played everything from tug-o-war, Monster in the Swamp, & parachute to Knock-out & relay races.
Our favorites to watch were the relay races. You can't tell from this picture, but here they were racing with rubber chickens on cafeteria trays. Last year they had to run with one between their knees... hilarious!
They also bounced on these crazy things & had to run with the "torch" which was a toilet plunger holding a whiffle ball! Lots of laughs & lots of fun.
